Psychedelics and the Autonomic Nervous System: A Perspective on Their Interplay and Therapeutic Potential
Psychedelics, known for their therapeutic potential in psychiatric disorders, interact with the autonomic nervous system in ways that are not well understood. This viewpoint examines the complex relationships between psychedelics and autonomic functions, focusing on sympathetic and parasympathetic modulation. We propose a research framework to elucidate how these interactions influence cardiovascular health and contribute to therapeutic outcomes.
